A Bellator official later told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the placement on the fight card is unknown but that fight is likely to make it to the night’s FOX Sports Net broadcast.

Bellator 28 takes place at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts in New Orleans.

Karakhanyan initially was slated to fight Chas Skelly, but as MMAjunkie.com first reported, the Texas-based ground specialist was forced off the card due to a foot injury.

Karakhanyan entered the Bellator season-two featherweight tourney earlier this year, and in the first round, he topped notable Bao Quach via first-round TKO. The victory extended his win streak to a remarkable nine fights. However, in the semifinals, he suffered a decision loss to eventual tourney runner-up Joe Warren and was bounced from the eight-man field.

Robinson, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Royce Gracie, makes his promotional debut at Bellator 28. The longtime Ring of Fire fighter had a four-fight stint in the UFC and picked up a decision victory over Jorge Gurgel at UFC 77. Most recently, he topped Brandon Girtz via submission at a May regional event in Minnesota to snap a three-fight losing skid.
